We have this same problem here with 2 from 4 machines which were upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3. All have static ip-addresses, different network cards, different architecture.
The difference during the upgrade was, that the two working machines were upgraded from "outside" by booting with a network-install-cd. The two machines showing the problems were upgraded from a running system by changing the repos to the 10.3 versions and then using the "factory upgrade"-tool in yast.
[...] Updates of a running system to a new distribution are AFAIK not supported and yast2 shows AFAIK at least a red warning. This the case, because there are several problems that may occur. One example: the conversion of ifcfg-eth-id-* to ifcfg-ethX needs an already updated udev with an already generated persistent-net rule 70 or a kernel using the new sysfs to work propelly. When the conversion happens while the old udev is running, the rule 70 it generates does not exists and the conversion using the old one may result in different persistent name. Using the old sysfs also does not work, because they differ significantly and on the new system a completely different modules may be in use. ... But let's take a look to the rules / config. Perhaps we'll find it. Can you attach a tgz from a working and a not working machine? "tar cvzf /tmp/machine1.tgz /etc/udev /etc/sysconfig/network" In /var/adm/backup/sysconfig are backups - please provide one of each machine that contains the old configuration (ifcfg-eth-<hwdesc> files). Of course, please copy the dirs somewhere first, review and replace any private data with XXXXX / example.com / dummy IPs / ... and attach it with a private flag set. And please also provide the output of "rpm -V udev sysconfig"? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
